That's the conclusion I came to too. Dont need the supplies and do need the conscripts. Isnt it a CSA thing? A couple of strategic investments (havent played CS yet...)

t'was Athena... I seem to be the only one playing the USA vs. CSA, uh? Aren't there ANY Yankees here? :w00t: I am still playing USA vs Athena. I thought I would start by doing the attacking because AI is usually rubbish at it. Also, work out how to use the sledgehammer before you have to use the fe...

I think the discussion here may have explained the game mechanics. However it never really explored the rationale behind it. These regions are 10's of miles across. In your example, Polk is well dug in, in good terrain, but that does not mean it is like WW1, with continuous trenches. Grant, with sup...

I have installed your mod (1.13b), following instructions (inc UAC off). Seems to install ok, but when I run the prog, I get 'file not found', localstrings*.csv in \(sfvf)\settings ... I have checked my sfvf folder and there is no settings subfolder... deleting modpath reverts to the vanilla 1/13b o...

Armies use a different naming scheme. When you form an army, it gets its name from a predefined list where the name is selected based on where the army is formed (of course, making sure names aren't duplicated ;) ) If you want to change an Army name to another, remove the leader from command, then ...

I read that he was using the permenant activation of leaderless stacks to cover for the lack of activation of his main leaders. I ahve nothing against use of independant stacks with leaders (div/corps, random groups of regiments...)

HMSWarspite

Note that the judicious use of units formed outside the command chain can be very useful. Units outside the command chain are capable of being activated when you need them to be. This is not always the case with units in the chain. This is IMHO, a gamey exploit... I would always play that uncommand...

Just to clarify further, in a following turn, once the division is paid for, you can split it up, and reorganise it without paying for it again. The key is the division commander must have at least one unit combined with him when you end the turn. You pay nothing extra for doing this. If you split t...

Yep - railroad raiding is a 2 turn endeavour: turn 1 move to area scheduled for ... environmental improvement. Turn 2, set unit to demolish tracks, and either bug out, or stay put... Means you have to end the turn in the area. Not unrealistic - stops you getiing too ambitious

How about option 4. Give yourself a paper tiger award. :mdr: I would propose myself, but I think that it would be outside the spirit of the award :) I will award myself the 'Whitehall Warrior star' - as my sins do not even involve going to war :) If Her Majesty will allow it of course :) For those ...

Help guys. I have just realised I made a major faux pas (or dropped a clanger for the non english speakers! :) ) . By vetoing our mighty and honorable queen and re-proposing Dixicrat myself, I have inadvertantly increased the number of seconders needed to get Dixicrat his medals and thus turned a jo...

Can't speak for all of Europe, but it is the biggest conflict in the middle of the 19th century - the Crimean war was far smaller and just a little earlier. The Franco-prussian is shorter and one sided (Sedan command anyone :) ) Also I find that a lot of Europeans have a wider view of the world than...

Just to clarify (in case I want to play 1.12 over Christmas

) Is it just the reporting of the victory that is at fault, or is the wrong guy winning? Although thinking about it, even the reporting could be an issue if the NM point changes take place. In which case when is 1.12a expected?

I have the purchase email and the serial number, just not the application. Is there a way I can download a new copy (bought via down load - no physical copy...)

HMSWarspite

And I did it. It doesn't work (the depot button remains unabled) It will take 1 day travel to dock, so you have to run the turn after sending them to the city. Also best to aim well in land in the region, doesn't have to be in aimed at the city I find. If you have a docked icon and then you can't b...

2: because it looks like the boats are in the adjacent river not the city. Move them in to the city (you will get a 'docked alongside' icon on the boats

That doesn`t seem to be the way it`s working now in my games. Full Suppy Wagons that move into the red do not fill up even when moved to Washington or Phila. unless you you buy supply envelopes in the replacements screen, and I have tons of supply on hand. As example, a small Union 3 Rgt. Div. at a...

You can change Div commanders over without paying for a new division. Disband the dividion in question, and as long as it is reformed the same turn (with the new general, or the old one if you have made a mistake) and you get it for 'free' (you don't pay for the reformed div.)

The way to deal with raiders is 1 garrison, all cities anywhere near the borders 2 scan the map for enemy cav, and chase them with you cav 3 scan for destroyed RR (can't mis them, they are red - any red symbols on the map need attention, they are either towns under siege with a breach, torn up RR, o...

I got the game two days ago. Updated it to 1.05e last night. I haven't really had a meaningful game yet but am enjoying learning it. I played the tutorials and a couple of the battle scenarios. I was looking for a single theater campaign but all of the possible choices say two theaters. So what the...

HMSWarspite

Why not just arrange it that the replay is identical however many times the host plays it, by encoding the initial random number seed at the non host's end. What I mean is: Turn 1 Host (player 1) does orders, send to non host (player 2) Player 2 does orders, and 'ends turn'. This encodes a seed into...

HMSWarspite

You only pay a penalty, as far as I can tell, if you promote a general to command an Army who has less seniority than another general on the field. I promoted Fremont to command the western theater ahead of Banks, and banks got pissed. Banks probably would have been a better choice too (he seems un...

I've got the mexican replacements available bug again (i had a quick look but couldn't find the last thread on the subject: where are you with this one?)

HMSWarspite

I have never played with random on: are you saying that it doesn't randomise the starting stats? Having to find the good leaders to start with is a fun historical trial! Although it does tend to give the Union an advantage, if McC or McD suddenly turn out to tactical geniuses!
